Meme: Lyrical

Filed under: Meme — bec July 27, 2008 @ 10:51 pm

I know, it’s terrible blog keeping but,yes, this is a second lazy post in a row.  I stole borrowed it from Adena @ Lunatic Ramblings where I have lurked for a long long time, and of course the gorgeous Hilly.

The Rules a la Hilly are:

1. Put your mp3 player or music player on your computer on random.
2. Post the first four lines from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song (Skip repeat artists).
3. Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
4. Don’t fucking cheat, you Google whores!

Okay - here’s mine:

1. Coercing or leaving
Shutting down and punishing
Running from rooms, defending
Withholding, justifying

2. Standing on the edge of the cliff
And I’m thinking it through my mind
I’m afraid that I’m about to slip
Because my body is out of time

3. Clean as a whistle
Smelling like a rose
She got no dirty little fingers
Bloodshot eyes are gone

4. It’s just one more day
No one said
There would be rain again
Won’t blame it on myself

5. Stand up
You’ve got to manage
I won’t sympathize
Anymore

6. I cant see you mama
But I can hardly wait
Ooh to touch and to feel you mama
Oh I just cant keep away

7. Hey girl
Is he everything you wanted in a man
You know I gave you the world
You had me in the palm of your hand

8. When I’m with you baby, I go out of my head
And I just can’t get enough, I just can’t get enough
All the things you do to me and everything you said
And I just can’t get enough, I just can’t get enough

9. Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog
Where no one notices the contrast of white on white
And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right

10. Any dolt with half a brain
Can see that human kind has gone insane
To the point where i don’t know if I’ll upset the status quo
If I throw poison in the water main.

11. I can’t get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

12.I don’t think that kindness is a weakness,
I don’t have a problem with compassion,
Tell me what you’re thinking?
Would you like to be so high?

13. So I said I’m on the roam so I need a car
And I know that I’m getting alive
And I say I got faith and a season
And I say that’s where I’m going to

14. Oh Mario, sit here by the window
Stay here ’til we reach Idaho
And when we go
Hold my hand on take-off

15. As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent
You asked for the latest party
With your silicon hump
And your ten inch stump

16. Well I’ve got a secret, I cannot say
Blame modern movement to give it away
You’ve got something I understand
Hold it in tightly, call on command

17. You let me violate you
You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you
You let me complicate you

18. And I set up and tore down this stage with my own two hands
We’ve travel this land packed tight in mini vans
And all this for the fans, girls, money, and fame
I played their game

19.Take a litle walk to the edge of town
Go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms,
like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks

20. Whose song is that remembered?
At random, surpenting
Throught fatty coils, emerging
Some other thought it’s thinking

And we’re back to assuming iTunes hates me, and then loves me and then isn’t sure about me!  Guess below… well it’s something to fill the time!

    6. Mama by Genesis (Love this song.)
    8. Just can’t Get Enough, Depeche Mode.
    17. Closer, NIN

  3. Nat - I had to skip so many ‘artist repeats’ and no lyric soundtrack pieces that it all began to feel a little like cheating so I decided to leave it in - hey, at least everyone’s guaranteed to know one!

    adena - Oh, yes, lurker am I, and suck? You? Noooooo.. That’s me outed over there now though isn’t it?! Closer - it’s not just sex it’s raw animal I just want to feel good hot and sweaty sex… Yeah… this reply just went places!

  4. No. 4 is annoying me because I recognise it but haven’t a clue what it is.
    No. 5 is Army of Me - one of my favourite Bjork songs.
    No. 13 is Hundred Mile High City by Ocean Colour Scene.
    No. 19 is Red Right Hand, by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Love that song.

    I have no idea what any of the others are but I’m sure there’ll be at least one other I’ll be kicking myself for not getting.
